finally getting around to starting a build thread for "Kiki's Tiki Village".
it's pretty much done structurally, now to get to decorating.
the idea was a split bar and lounge in 2 different styles. Mrs. muskrat prefers a more Polynesian pop sensibility while i'm more of a adventureland type. the build got under way in February and we had a soft open of the bar on may 31 for our daughters graduation party, we finished most of the little things, that got over looked for the tight timeline for the party, over the last few weeks as time permitted and now we need to focus on the task of decorating.
my friends seem to think it's done but we keep telling them it will never be done as there's always something new to do/make/hang...
well, here we go!

an uneven slab that pooled water, a poorly constructed cover made from pine 2x4's that was ready to come down and at 10x20 (half of which was at a different level as a step for the slider) wasn't much space.

now it's time to get down to business.
we decided to build a cover and put the bar on the new patio area next to the hot tub. i drew up plans, bought the wood and got out the router.
made some stencils, laid out the patterns and got to work.

longboard, what type of surface do you have on your court?
i've got the traditional crushed oyster shell and oyster flour which was great til the drought came along, now my court is pretty much unplayable.
i'm looking to redo the surface and so far decomposed granite with a thin layer of oyster flower is at the top of the list. the rubberized artificial surfacing which is used in all "officially sanctioned" courts is way out of my budget.

I like it Muskrat. Nice deep router work. Longboard likes rum and bocci, I think I like the rum and hottub combo better _________________ATTENTION MEMBERS!
